Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The situation described in the question is referring to the tort of trespass to property. None of the answer choices provided accurately reflect this tort. A misdemeanor is a criminal offense, not a civil tort. A contractual breach and breach of fiduciary duty are both breaches of fiduciary relationships, which are not present in this situation. Libel is a false and damaging statement about a person, not a harm to their property.
